The concept of the movie scared me when I was younger, and it is a movie that has stood the test of time for me. I can watch it anytime it comes on
TV and still enjoy it. Great work by three great actors (Pullman, Smith, Goldblum).

Signs is a distant second. The videotaped scene where the alien interrupts the birthday party still freaks me out whenever I think about
it.

For those that dont know... a sequel to Independance Day is in the works. It will supposedly be shot all at once and released as two seperate
movies. Most of the cast will be back, the only spoiler that's has surfaced is Will Smith will be in the role of President.

indipendance day is still one of my favorites but i recently watched the orgional war of the worlds(not the 2004 remake) and for a movie of its time
you couldnt expect much with special effects but it was still pretty good

After being completely blown away the first time I saw Knowing in theaters, I figured I should give Dark City a shot. I just watched Dark City last
night, and was quite impressed!

The Thing obviously is a classic.

I remember watching Signs as a kid, alone at night. Oh, it scared the crap out of me! For days afterwards I was always afraid to open doors, haha! It
might not be a great movie, but boy was it effective! Haven't seen it in a long time, actually.

Edit:
By the way, The 4th Kind was a P.O.S.
But I am very excited for Super8 and Cowboys vs. Aliens!

Not sure if these movies are true alien movies, but They Live, and Night of the Creeps. Night is about an alien from a dying planet sending these
leech like creatures into the solar system on a comet, it hits hurt and the leeches take over peoples body's.

ID4 (sort of a remake) comes in 2nd. CE3K gets honorable mention. great sfx.
'Mothman Prophecies' is an awesome book but the movie didn't do it justice (imho).

I love "War of the Worlds", "Avatar", "Paul" and "Men in Black" lol. I also can't wait til "Super 8" comes out I think thats gonna be a
good one. And its not a movie but I love anything "V" related, I'm a fan of both the old and new series =)
